On January 1, 2025 I was able to acquire the bsky.ca domain - currently it simply redirects to bsky.app. I haven't had time to think about what to do with it. Any thoughts/ideas? 👀 #atdev #atproto

Everyone’s watching Quebec’s doctor revolt. For good reason. The real story is in Alberta. Both governments are testing how far political power can reach into medicine. Here’s how it looks from 30,000 ft:

Will Hezbollah respond to the Israel's latest assassination of one of its leaders? "This latest attack, far from insignificant, adds to a series of blows the party has absorbed. Its forced passivity now leaves it in a precarious, if not embarrassing, position."

As the war in Ukraine continues, The World’s Host @marcowerman.bsky.social speaks with filmmaker Mstyslav Chernov about the new documentary “2000 Meters to Andriivka,” produced by our partners at @frontlinepbs.bsky.social and @apnews.com.

Giant gaps between the Witkoff-Dmitriev “peace plan” for Ukraine, which was unacceptable to Kyiv, and a new European draft, which the Kremlin won’t discuss, make it clear the war is unlikely to end soon. My analysis

Among the 28 points of the initial Washington/Kremlin plan, one was a general amnesty for war crimes. This video footage shows Russian troops killing five Ukrainian soldiers, prisoners of war. This adds to the several hundreds such crimes committed by Russia. kyivindependent.com/russian-mili...

“Putin’s propaganda has lost this generation of people.” How an 18-year-old street musician became a threat to the Kremlin - in a crackdown that had seen even one of Putin’s former advisors labelled a “foreign agent.” My report

The Witkoff-Dmitriev plan puts Zelensky in a familiar spot. He can accept Moscow’s terms, or Ukraine can keep fighting a war few think it can win. It’s the same choice Ukrainians faced in February 2022 - so don’t expect the answer from Kyiv to be any different this time. My analysis

So these “linked outbreaks” are not a sign of trouble to come. That trouble arrived months ago. Now the dissonance between reality and what's been reported is becoming too great to uphold the illusion. ( /end) @apoorvanyt.bsky.social @teddyrosenbluth.bsky.social www.cbsnews.com/news/measles...

She called all of it a year and a half ago.

Here I explain why the new US proposals would amount to Ukraine's capitulation, and why this is not something that Kyiv is considering at this moment. This comes following difficult weeks, with russian strikes, corruption scandals & a dire frontline situation. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XIZB...

The Trump Steamroller Is Broken Infighting. Bad polls. Party divisions. Midterm fears. It’s all back. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

From me and Mahdis Habibinia: The Ford goverment says its unusual legislative move to take control of Exhibition Place is only about accessing underground wires and pipes during Ontario Place redevelopment. Opposition and City of Toronto politicians aren't so sure www.thestar.com/news/gta/dou...

"Dmitriev expressed optimism about the deal's chances of success because, unlike past efforts, 'we feel the Russian position is really being heard.'"

Once more, Russia struck Ukrainian civilians with missiles & drones overnight. The death toll keeps increasing in the Western city of Ternopil. Up until recently, western Ukraine was relatively safe in comparison with frontline regions? It is no longer the case. www.france24.com/en/europe/20...

🕯Vyacheslav Malets, callsign 'Cooper', the 1st contractor of the "18-24" program who returned from Germany to defend Ukraine, was killed a few days ago near Pokrovsk. He was 21, from Kharkiv region, and dreamed of one day becoming a diplomat. He had already been decorated for his courage in battle.

Mazier says a national license for doctors is the way forward. The strongest indicator yet that this is becoming the default position in Ottawa. The debate is no longer over "whether." It's when and how fast.

🇫🇷🤝🇺🇦La déclaration d'intention France-Ukraine sur l'achat, entre autres, de 100 avions de combat est un 'moment historique' dit Zelensky, un 'tournant' pour Macron. Mais cette coopération historique s'inscrit sur le long terme, et l'armée ukrainienne a des besoins immédiats de soutien 👇 rfi.my/CC05

@lynseyaddario.bsky.social Watch LOVE+WAR on #DisneyPlus. Have to admit to holding my breath during the first action packed minutes of the show. This soon turned to tears and sorrow seeing #TimHetherington #AnjaNiedringhaus You are so Courageous #Photojournalism www.google.com/search?clien...

A great thing about working for a bigger news org like Toronto Star is variety. I usually cover politics but got to write one of our Santa Fund stories. I met a 10-year-old superfan of the fund who receives one of the gift boxes that go to 50K financially vulnerable kids...

Kramatorsk Odyssey: Ukrainian Glass As Russia’s attacks on Ukraine persist, Noosphere contributor @reflextv.bsky.social documents the aftermath of a recent Russian glide bomb strike reportedly aimed at military targets.

Hospitals across Canada are closing their ERs because there aren't enough doctors to run them. Millions don’t have a doctor. Millions more can’t get an appointment. It didn’t used to be this way. Turns out it wasn’t an accident.

The goal is to make all of us afraid to speak up about (or report on) whatever he does next...

PHAC really doesn't like the word "epidemic" for some reason.

On Remembrance Sunday, we’re back at that stage in history where Britain is helping protect Belgium against an aggressive foreign power…

Ashtiyeh has seen more than his share of killing and bloodshed … #WestBank Photos: Jaafar Ashtiyeh / AFP

The budget. It puts $5 billion into “health infrastructure,” which sounds like healthcare funding. But is it? My breakdown for Canada Healthwatch looks at what’s new, what’s missing, and why health is now being framed as infrastructure.

@parismarx.com @gandersocial.bsky.social @rachelgilmore.bsky.social guys, look.

🔴 Blackout in Kharkiv. We are plunged in total darkness again.

The photo of the year: Angelina Jolie in an anti-drone tunnel. Thanks to Jolie, the world now knows: Kherson, a Ukrainian city, lives on, one mile away from the front, under non-stop short-range drone attacks. Much gratitude. 📷 By my source.

Real news. Fundamental to democracy and a functioning international community

In Syria, the need to rebuild from the country's long civil war is colliding with the desire to learn the full truth about what happened. My report from the Daraa region, where I spent a day with a White Helmets team that's still digging up the country's dead.

Radicalized pod and chill from today. Amazing intro by HiFi (as always) Continuing reporting from their interview with @zarinazabrisky.bsky.social in Kherson where the human safari is ongoing. Please at least watch the intro, about 3-5 minutes. www.youtube.com/live/h2H4TQP...
